Comments about ‘IRS lacked 'sensitivity' in screenings of political groups; DOJ to investigate’

Was it "insensitive" before the last election to send confidential tax
data including donors to conservative groups (illegally collected by the IRS) to
Propublica, a liberal media group that is funded by George Soros and other left
wing billionaires? If so, it is probably also insensitive to rob banks.

This is like the fox guarding the henhouse. The no budget President has lost
control of his minions at top levels. It makes you wonder what John Kerry the
long boat guy will be doing out there on the sidelines of diplomacy. Hopefully,
he won't throw his medals over the fence into North Korean territory so
they can use that like Jane Fonda's propaganda.

The secretary of
Defense is beyond is Peter's principle and Murphy's law will grab him.
Since we have the Obama Chiefs of Staffs of all military services, hopefully,
they will be able to hold the line.

What freedoms will we give up
over the night? It is almost becoming Germany of the 1930s. However it is
safer now as people in 99 percent of the world are at peace while we sleep.
Britain used to have their territory with the sun never setting.

I'm probably not well informed, but it seems to me the tea party and other
conservative groups, while they may have laudable objectives, are not
philanthropic, educational, or religious. Why would they have applied for tax
exempt status?

The IRS has proven that it is too big, too powerful, and
too easily twisted to perform illegal and immoral acts as a partisan political
goon squad. It is corrupt to the core, at least in the appointed leadership
levels, and in many small pockets of easily manipulated bureaucrats. Yes, many
IRS workers are simply doing their jobs and collecting what is due so we can run
the government, but they mask the rot that exists.

Allowing this huge
bureaucracy with unlimited power, unlimited resources, and the tyrannical
ability to destroy any individual or business to continue to operate is
inconsistent with limited or honest government.

Lots of people need
to be fired, and JAILED! Then the tax code needs to be simplified so as to
eliminate the IRS. Finally, Obamacare with 12,000 new IRS agents to be the
:enforcers" must be halted immediately, and repealed entirely.

The whole government needs to take sensitivity training and figure out that they
are to be working for our citizens and not trying to subvert anything of good
report or praiseworthy. They have too many in this administration from Chicago
who have a street mentality and not of a historical perspective in that
President Lincoln came out of the Chicago convention to be a winner for our
country. He was the cement that held our country together.

Think
about the IRS trying to manage our healthcare and privacy and be the beloved
servants of our country is hard to imagine in 7 months. We are in for a real
surprise. These guys violated the laws 2 years ago when they should have been
ginning up the healthcare programs that they will be responsible for. We just
need to drop back and punt and keep that part of the process away from corrupt
people that are to be protecting our national resource, taxes.

They
are about as trustworthy as the Benghazi people. When you think of the
Department of the Treasury and the IRS, you think of a budget approved and in
the system. For 5 years we have no budget.

I've been audited. These folks weren't even audited!! Their
application was essentially subject to review to see if they were eligible for
tax exempt status.

Was it based on the difficulty of determining if
the majority of these particular groups' activities were to 1) promote
social welfare, or 2) engage in political activity?The particular section
of law they are applying under requires that the groups are for "promoting
social welfare," yet all Tea Party groups were clearly engaged in loud,
blatant and very public political activities.Simply sending a memo that
says, "Hey folks, it looks like those 'tea party' groups are
mostly political. Be sure to check social welfare activity is valid," seems
perfectly acceptable to me.

Doesn't matter why they applied. If they were not
eligible, then just turn them down.

However--when the IRS is asking
for donor lists (which is illegal), what books were read, copies of webpages,
whether they have any intention of running for office now or in the future, etc,
then they have crossed the line into Orwellian territory.

And just
how do you know that some of the groups applying were not educational?

And all this corruption from the people who will be enforcing Obamacare! Can we just get the entire Administration out of the White House.Obama
is either a foolish puppet, or he is a lying cheating traitor.Either way
he needs to go!!!

The President releasing the IRS commissioner gave the same words as he has for
any other problem he has had all through his ministry of President of the United
States of America. All those who are involved is going to surface like cream,
some now and some who are dragging this administration down, in a later time.
The President is going through the Bill Clinton type of pressure. They just
need to keep clean and not have the appearance they can get away with
indiscriminate actions affecting millions of people. The IRS actions are
against the law and how they applied them arbitrary and capricious does not
allow the system to correct them. They don't have a tracking system as
FedEx and UPS have to know who violated the law. There are undefined
conservatives that are out there, not just ones with their names in it.

All people that read the DN could fall into that category. Anyone who has
read John Birch Society or Constitution could be considered in that category.
They could tap into your Amazon.com and find out what books you ordered and not
even read to consider one as conservative.

When is this going to stop? This back-stabbing, mud slinging and immature
behavior of organizations who think they have the right over anyone else. Our
wonderful USA is so divided because of hate, malice and lack of Patriotism. The
devil is certainly in control. What happened to being happy for someone's
success? I never could have imagined our wonderful United States of America
being entangled in such berating, mean and hateful behavior between citizens.
Those in high positions in our government are supposed to be the example of what
is true and good. But instead those select few that do care are being
overpowered by those who do not. I for one, wish those in charge would "grow
up" and start taking seriously their words and actions and begin by being
Honest and True to our Red, White and Blue.
